Table of WTP IDs

Revision as of 22:41, 15 December 2007 by D a carver.yahoo.com (Talk | contribs) (Introduction)

Introduction

There are a vast number of ids that are used within the WTP. Every command, content-type, action, menu, etc has an id that is associated with it. This page will try to keep up to date with the various ids, where they can be found, and what they correspond too.

It is important to document the usage of the ids, especially when they relate to menus, toolbars, commands, and popus as the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point allows for other plugins to contribute to menus based off the ids that are published. Commands are also referenced by id, and are implemented based on handlers.

Eclipse 3.3 introduced the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point, this is to eventually replace the 4 contribution points that exist currently for creating menus. A detailed mapping can be found at Menus_Extension_Mapping. Paul Webb has created a good overview of the new org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point in his blog.

The [Platform_Command_Framework#Tracing_Option] contains information on how to debug handlers and commands that aren't working.

Menus

The org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point allows for the definition of menus that other plugins can contribute too. See Menu_Contributions and Basic Workbench Extensions using Commands for more information specifically for working with org.eclipse.ui.menus, org.eclipse.ui.commands, and org.eclipse.ui.handlers (Platform_Command_Framework).

In addition, controlling when a menu or command is available can be implemented with Command_Core_Expressions.

Id Name Location Type Description
sourceMenuId Source SSE.ui/plugin.xml Main Menu A general source main menu that can be contributed to from other plugins.

Commands

Commands are implemented and tied to menus using handlers. They can also be tied to actionSets and have action Delgates. If implemented using handlers, a command may have zero to many handlers, but only zero to one may be active at any given point in time. Handlers can be specified using either the org.eclipse.ui.handlers extension point or programtically.
